Aug 17 Episode 23: The Juggers Are Coming ft. Valkyrie Savage

Once upon a time, Valkyrie Savage spent a semester in Germany where she was introduced to the game of Jugger - based off the 1989 movie "The Blood of Heroes". It was a good experience, but it was one she wouldn't repeat for half a decade after moving back to San Francisco. In a city without a dedicated community, Valkyrie and her husband Evan thought back to the sport they'd discovered in Germany and began to put in place the foundation of her first Jugger team. Now, living in Toronto, Valkyrie and Evan are building their team again one Jugger at a time. Discussing alternative sports, community, and Jugger.
